[Machine] We participated in the expedition with the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , in the year of conquest. We were one thousand and ninety-nine. Allah opened for us Makkah and Hunayn. When we were between Hunayn and Ta'if, we saw a tree that weapons were tied to. It was called Dhatus Anwatin and it was worshipped besides Allah. When the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , saw it, he turned away from it on a hot day to a shade that was closer to him. A man said, "O Messenger of Allah, make for us Dhatus Anwatin like what they have." The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said to him, "Indeed, these are the customs that you follow. By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, just as the Children of Israel said to Moses, 'Make for us a god as they have gods'. He said, 'Would you substitute Allah for something inferior while He has favored you over the worlds?"  

غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ وَنَحْنُ أَلْفٌ وَنَيِّفٌ فَفَتَحَ اللهُ لَنَا مَكَّةَ وحُنَيْنًا حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بَيْنَ حُنَيْنٍ وَالطَّائِفِ أَبْصَرَ شَجَرَةً كَانَ يُنَاطُ بِهَا السِّلَاحُ فَسُمِّيَتْ ذَاتُ أَنْوَاطٍ وَكَانَتْ تُعْبَدُ مِنْ دُونِ اللهِ فَلَمَّا رَآهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ انْصَرَفَ عَنْهَا فِي يَوْمٍ صَائِفٍ إِلَى ظِلٍّ هُوَ أَدْنَى مِنْهَا فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اجْعَلْ لَنَا ذَاتَ أَنْوَاطٍ كَمَا لِهَؤُلَاءِ ذَاتُ أَنْوَاطٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّهَا السُّنَنُ قُلْتُمْ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ كَمَا قَالَتْ بَنَو إِسْرَائِيلَ لِمُوسَى اجْعَلْ لَنَا إِلَهًا كَمَا لَهُمْ آلِهَةٌ فَقَالَ أَغَيْرَ اللهِ أبْغِيكُمْ إِلَهًا وَهُوَ فَضَّلَكُمْ عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ
